Pollard on Facility Improvements

JP is on call in show tonight....He just said two projects are imminent for the athletic department. The first one is a new scoreboard/ sound system for Jack Trice that will be in the north end on top of the Jacobsen Bldg! Second is a new track/ soccer complex. Both of these will go to the board of regents at the end of October. Construction starts in spring, scoreboard will be ready for Fall 2011 football season.

The next two projects are dependent upon the next big 12 television package and fundraising. In the future, he said they want to build a football building connected to the current practice facility. South end zone is off in the future and cannot be justified at the current time. He would have a hard time selling it to the board of regents with our current attendance.

Re: Pollard on Facility Improvements

Theres been a lot of smoke on here and elsewhere about a new video board and sound system going over the top of the jake. Ive gotta agree, those are priority 1 improvements as our current system is embarrassing.

Id be interested to know what our season ticket sales are for this year. Our attendance numbers have been way off at every game, that points to a major season ticket sale drop to me. Knowing that, i can see how itd be hard to justify that to the regents, even if phase 1 isnt about increasing capacity.

Re: Pollard on Facility Improvements

I hope the new videoboard is large and in charge. It would be really pathetic to put something similar to the south endzone on top of the Jacobson Building. I am hoping real state of the art...or it is not worth it.
